According to the V12 boys this weekend, it's at the printers. 700 pages plus, in the same format as the Slate guide. Mr Panton has been quoted as saying 'never again' after this one.
Not sure if there's ever been a more highly anticipated guide as this one, I've been offered crazy prices for the old guide while out at the crag.
I actually led some trad routes at the weekend in Wales for the first time in 10 years. I'm guessing the new guide will ensure the rope stays firmly at home
